15 ENERGY EFFICIENT INVENTIONS FOR YOUR HOME

[@nigeltegg]

0:20 or you could just have a 100$ PV panel, charging a battery, and have light from LEDs whenever you need it, including at night. I recommend 14s Lithium ion, or 16s LiFePO4, a charger controller, and then dedicated HV LED drivers after each switch. (in the light module) This improves the efficiency, as higher transmission voltages to the point of use, lead to lower losses overall.

[@danielkowalski7527]

daylight > diodelight

[@AttemptMade]

From an economic standpoint what you’re saying makes sense but if we could get rich people hyped up over it the prices will come down and eventually be cheaper and more efficient. The maximum theoretical efficiency of covering light to electricity is around 40% and while leds are efficient is not possible for them to be 100, plus the price and ease of manufacturing for the raw materials to make fiber optic cables is way cheaper than those used for leds or solar panels. These don’t convert anything they just move the light where it’s needed with super high efficiency which would be ideal all things being equal.

That's awesome to hear that the solar water heater has been working so well for you! If you're looking for more energy-efficient options, I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's a versatile powerhouse that can provide ample power for your devices, with fast recharging and comprehensive protections. It's perfect for outdoor enthusiasts like us!

Rainy is a good in theory! But when it rains, the rain water seeps through the ground, and down outdoor pump shafts to refill the aquifer. Even if you do save water, pumping out the aquifer without replenishment could lead to sinkholes.

Combining a lens in front of the heat pick-up with a parabolic reflector behind the pick-up, more power could be generated. The pick-up creates a shadow anyway, so a small lens would probably not interfere with the efficiency of the parabolic dish very much, but it would add a very hot spot onto the front side of the pick-up.

Granted it showed a large roof dimension to provide, but I have an 8 by 16 roof on my wood shed that'll fill two 250 gallon totes on a good rainy day. Just built a barn and with 512 sq ft roof and will pipe that into 8 more totes. Currently I've managed to just use water from one tote this summer as it would refill and it supplies enough to wash dishes and showers for our tiny home. Our shower though is on to rinse, off to lather, in to rinse and conserves a lot of water. We utilize a fraction when we had a house for our family of 5. Really taught conservation of resources.

[@bobm3477]

If you use a parabolic mirror for light you could also put the beam through a prism and take the different wavelengths. Use the visible for lighting and infrared for heating, I don't know what the UV could be used for. I believe that fiber optics may allow the light to go much further.

UV for air filters, although i doubt it would work without special fibres, because it gets blocked easily.

The "Source" water condenser produces 5 liters of water per day (depending on conditions... the average human male needs 3.7 liters per day, female needs 2.7 liters... there is no way one can sustain a household much less a community... Sounds like a $2000 boondoggle. - That carport goes *Up TO* 5000kWh if conditions are ideal (sunny everyday) so I hope you need to drive less than 55 miles (88km) or you will be tapped out. The thermoelectric generator is a farce at a paltry 1.2 volts it may light an LED or two, but you will NOT be charging your average cell phone... One turbine can generate 56 volts... that is only half of nominal US voltage 2 $2200 each... and you WILL need two... I also notice they did not mention Amps or Watt/hours either... might be ok in a primitive setting but a pricy, high maintenance P.I.T.A for most other uses. Nice using the "tan tights" on the hot girl and dark tights on everyone else... too bad you have to pay $2500 *AND* peddle for about an hour just to fill the thing and even then is just enough to refill your laptop and cell phone once...
